Featuring a brand new storyline, the game sees players taking control of Murphy Pendelton, a convict struggling through the foggy reaches of Silent Hill. It will feature a larger, explorable environment than those seen in previous games.

It has also been revealed that Downpour's soundtrack is being penned by composer Daniel Licht, whose former work includes TV's serial killer drama Dexter.
